While older men are looking befuddled
Little boys are playing with puddles
The irony of humanity; ever under siege
From desires that put our wisdom to test
Sorrow grows with age and knowledge
As people fail in the struggle to find rest
Rest, my soul, in the eternal God alone.

Hmmm….
Ecclesiastes 1:18 KJV
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
To know God, and be able to rest in His love, is the greatest blessing!
Thank you for the beautiful reminder of the need to trust God amidst life’s ups and downs.
You’re welcome ma 😊
Yes, all of humanity is under a siege and on a subtle quest for rest, but it’s only in God that we can find rest.
Man’s inability to find true rest is for him to come to the discovery that rest is found in God alone. Sadly, some never come to this realization.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Always grateful to God for the rest we access through Christ!
